the story without sex ...

and this again refers to the last post ... Drew Barrymnore in the movie says "a melody is like sex but the lyricsd are the story" hmmm .. well i do have some story so to say ... but no sex ! so here are some of my old and rusty compositions from old days ... again, these were mentioned twice before in the blog ..


the Shakespearean untitled poem

No pain is worth your tears
for they are my life's worst fears.


the faintest quiver in thy speach,
puts through my heart a gaping breach


in your eyes, when i see this haze,
my soul goes up in hell's blaze


so come on and put up a smile,
we still have to go many a mile.


ok .. lemme tell you the truth .. all these poems including the first one which was posted sometime back, were written in engineering days ... which probably explains my poor grades .. and some of them writtedn in the 1-2 month crush period (mind you my best scores were during that sem !) and the rest written later just because i had noithing to dfo or rather didnt feel like doing anything. however, the first poem i wrote wasnt meant for anyone in particular .. had written that just because i was going home after whart was a terribly cold and harsh winter but sadly it came close on the heels of V day .. and u know what all shit can happen in a boys' hostel ! well, in a lil different vein, here goes another untitled one -


Something Stupid ...


that twinkle in your eye
that smile ever so shy
for those lucky ones who behold,
a reason very strong to die


that divinely sweet look
that hair flowing like a brook
call me blessed or call me cursed
they sure fill my heart with crook


that voice so very true
that clear heart, you can see through
you've just touched the right chord baby
i dont know what my life would be without you !


this one i believe was written sometime later in a fit of vellapanti and celebrating "old days" .. and again, from the original stable of poems comes this one -


An ode to Basic Electrical Engineering


Darling you are like a clamper
but remember, I'm a high breakdown zener


your love in me is like a rectifier
and for all opther doubts, our union will be the filter !


.... well that probably neatly sums up the futility of teaching a mechie all those clipper-clampers, diodes and other semiconductor devices and analog eelctronics !!

1+1=0

thats what happens when u try to sing a duet like a solo number .. and add to that a hoarse "besura" like me and the results could be devastating.


Nevertheless, enjoy the song. at this time, this is all i wanted to write. and then this song came along and summed it up so beautifully. all i wannna do is find a way back into love ...


I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on


I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh


I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions


All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration 
Not just another negotiation


All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
